lyrics

the deal that we made
the end of the summer
when we packed the car
away from your mother's
the house that was sold
i'm endlessly haunted
its still in the frame
all your belongings
into the car
and drove from your mothers
i couldn't have known
the endless discomfort
of longing too late
for longer than average
you're still in the frame
front of the narrative
now i go to work
and sleep in the covers
and i'm not alone
though not quite recovered
from all of the nights
the hue of your bedroom
so bold and precise
the sound in the headphones
when back at thirteen
sat on the computer
i couldn't have known
the course of a future
spent longing too late
for longer than average
you're still in the frame
front of the narrative

I'll be listening to that song
When I die
An MP3 in the passenger seat
Of a long drive
Thinking of you
The slow duet
And your attic bed
when Jackson died
In June 09
Each note
And tone
Of
Your admission
That Falling in love
Isn't a choice
But being in love
its a decision
Or the grieving drone
Appealing the reason
That I'd die for you
But I wouldn't leave him

i couldn't know that there were things
concrete beyond seventeen
mostly you're my only purpose
the night fades too nothing

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul

supported by 4 fans who also own “June '09”

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
